Plain Pi Disc
Late Neolithic
Diameter 36.6cm
Thickness 0.8-1.2cm
The round perforated
disc first appeared in the
late Neolithic, when it
was usually smooth and
undecorated. Smaller
discs could have been
used as pendants, while
larger ones may have been
used as ritual objects in
the worship of deities or
ancestors.
